The Legality of Sunday Issues.

A decision has just been handed over
in the st. Paul courts that may, if sus-
tained, bring joy to the millions who
struggle under mountainous Sunday
blanket sheets. A year or so ago Mr..
Egbert Handy, of Philadelphia, concluded
a contract with the publishers of the st.
Paul Globe for the use of three columns
in their Sunday ISSUE Mr.. Handy's en-
terprise resulted in an almost instant sue
cess. His profits from the three columns
were $40, 900 the first year. Thereupon
the publishers repented their bargain and
refused to carry it out.
Mr.. Handy brought suit, and the court
decides that no contract involving work
to be done or matter to be published on
Sunday is binding. The case will doubt
less be appealed, as Mr.. Handy holds that
the failure on the publishers part has
escheated him of $3.50, 900. Should it
be affirmed the Sunday newspaper will
be in bad way, since no contracts can
be made with advertisers, and it is upon
Sunday advertising that many of the
most solid of our esteemed contemporaries
count to recoup the losses of the week.
No journal sold for two cents could live
II advertisements were not a great part of
their pages. A case involving a some
what similar point was decided not long
ago in Ohio, when the court affirmed
that without a statutory provision there
was no law recognizing the Christian
Sabbath in this country. The issue is a
delicate one, and every editor in the
country will watch the result with an
almost personal interest.-New York

The way to have a good credit is to
keep out of debt.
70 be intelligent is to be honest, kind
and good,
You have as much right to put your
hand into another mans pocket as your
nose into another mans business.
A kind word costs you nothing, and
the return of it may come at time when
you need it most,
Trust no man's appearance. The
roughest bark covers the soundest tree
and the thinnest ice has the smoothest
surface.
He who longs after good precepts is
quickened in his imagination and
strengthened in his expression. The vine
which grows in the sun is the fullest of
sap and sweetest of fruit.
A good souled child is fortress of
strength between its parents and sin.
The barest stump is beautiful when over
run by the honeysuckle.
There is no such thing as hopeless
life. The soul could no more exist with
out hope than the body without breath.

1t is indeed not uncommon for d firm
to present its cashier with $500 or 81 600
in cash at the end Of the year, and to
give the clerks i'll less responsible posi-
tons sums of money commensurate with
their services. The representative Wall
street concerns pay fair salaries. The
young men OF the dry goods district, al
though ip.the busy season they perform
manual lISor eighteen hours a day, are
not better paid than their brethren on
the Stock Exchange. In the great bank
ing houses, however, the pay Of clerks
for the first year or two Of service is sur
prisingly small. This is because rich
men, in their anxiety to place their SONS
with houses in which there is chance
of advancement, quite ignore the ques-
ton of salary at the start. So eager are
they to see their SONS thus engaged that
very frequently they are willing to allow
their boys to drudge along without pay
for q year or two, The great house of
Kountze Brothers pays It's young men IN
their first year Of service a salary of 800,
and their list of applicants for positions is
always a large one.-New York World.
